Useful at what? Pest removal? Overall tank cool factor ? What are you looking for?

If it is pest removal you are looking for, melanarus wrasse will destroy flat worms.

pest removal

 

[demonclownfish]

sixline, yellow coris, and melanarus are the best for pests

Agreed! :beer:

 

[chercm]

what about : Anampses meleagrides ?

 

[me_reef_geek]

yellow corris and green wrasse personally I think the green wrasse is a tougher fish
I was talking with a lfs the other day and they said they dont ship well they only have about a 50% survival rate

 

[Clemente]

Halichoeres melanurus, Halichoeres lecoxanthus - Canary top or White belly wrasse (often confused with the yellow coris/canary wrasse - Halichoeres chrysus) and the best for montipora eating nudibranchs the Halichoeres iridis - Radiant wrasse.

Green wrass are extremely good hunters of pests but will turn to cleanup crew members once the pests are gone

 

[SDguy]

Honestly I think any of the smaller halichoeres wrasses are great for pest control, and general overall great reef fish.

Like SDGuy said. I also have a Velvet wrasse (Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis) that loves to eat bristle worms. He knows that when I use my Mag Float there will always be a worm or two that are hidding under the float and he waits for them.

Why do you want to get rid of your bristles worms? Personally I avoid wrasses that feed on the substrate because they eat so many beneficial creatures.

can a yellow corris wrasse and a sixline be kept in the same tank (I have a 75 mixed reef).
